WHITEVILLE — A Thursday afternoon hit‑and‑run on Kit Horne Road has been linked to Johnathan Av Rose, 41, who was arrested later the same day on the same set of charges documented in the incident report.

Deputies responded at 4:55 p.m. to a report of a vehicle leaving the scene after causing property damage. The incident log lists offenses including Hit/Run Leaving the Scene Property Damage, Fail to Report Accident, and Driving While License Revoked (Not Impaired Revocation).

Rose was booked at 6:06 p.m. on those identical charges and released the same day.

“HIT RUN LEAVE SCENE PROP DAM… FAIL TO REPORT ACCIDENT… DWLR” Incident 26‑1050: “WS – Hit/Run Leave Scene Prop Damage… WS – Fail To Report Accident”

The victim is listed as the State of North Carolina, indicating the damage involved public property or a roadway hazard.

Under North Carolina law, leaving the scene of a property‑damage collision is a misdemeanor, but penalties increase if the driver is already revoked — as Rose was at the time of arrest.

All individuals listed are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
Charges and case statuses may change as investigations and court proceedings continue.
